Estate lawyer Oda Krohg and her unqualified assistant, Reidar Simonsen, have just wrapped up yet another demanding case and are looking forward to a quiet autumn. But Oda is filled with
unease. She has a persistent feeling that someone has been inside her house, and fears she is being watched.
Ghosts from the past begin to resurface: her foster homes, her years of homelessness — but above all, the childhood nightmare that has shaped her entire life, and which she has almost managed to suppress. After many years living under a secret identity, Oda realises that her past may be catching up with her.
